Understanding the dynamics of sustainable change: A 20-year case study of integrated health and social care

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background Change initiatives face many challenges, and only a few lead to long-term sustainability. One area in which the challenge of achieving long-term sustainability is particularly noticeable is integrated health and social care.

Influence of Fracture Zone on Final Slope Displace-ment : Insights from Long-Term Monitoring in the Une Mine

Journal of MMIJ
The final slope of Une mine experienced sudden increases in displacement in specific sections during the typhoons of 2007 and 2011, as observed through long-term monitoring since the excavation from the top.

Experimental evaluation of anti-stripping additives on porous asphalt mixtures [PDF]

, 2015
The open structure of porous asphalt mix influences its strength and durability against air, water and clogging materials. These factors cause loss of adhesion between binder-aggregate interface and loss of cohesion within the binder film.

Language Preservation Problems in Parametric Timed Automata [PDF]

Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2020
Parametric timed automata (PTA) are a powerful formalism to model and reason about concurrent systems with some unknown timing delays. In this paper, we address the (untimed) language- and trace-preservation problems: given a reference parameter ...

Cities with dense networks of shared scooter parking have higher parking compliance

Journal of Transport and Land Use
Many cities seek solutions to address public concerns about non-compliant shared electric scooter (e-scooter) parking. One strategy is to provide designated parking areas, called “corrals.” However, it remains unclear how much parking infrastructure is ...

Effectiveness, costs and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic care and physiotherapy compared with information and advice in the treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Trials, 2017
Background Low back pain is a global public health problem and a leading cause of disability all over the world. The lifetime prevalence of low back pain is 70–80% and a significant proportion of people affected develop chronic low back pain (CLBP ...

An Engineered Infected Epidermis Model for In Vitro Study of the Skin’s Pro-Inflammatory Response

Micromachines, 2020
Wound infection is a major clinical challenge that can significantly delay the healing process, can create pain, and requires prolonged hospital stays. Pre-clinical research to evaluate new drugs normally involves animals. However, ethical concerns, cost,

Setting control of completely recyclable concrete with slag and aluminate cements [PDF]

, 2016
A completely recyclable concrete (CRC) is designed to have a chemical composition equivalent to the one of general raw materials for cement production. By doing so, this CRC can be used at the end of its service life in cement manufacturing without the ...

Investigation of Thermo‐Chemical Processes in Commercial MgO‐C Refractory Bricks With and Without MgO‐C Recyclate at Elevated Temperatures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates thermo‐chemical processes during high‐temperature testing of two commercial MgO‐C brick grades, one containing 47.5 wt.% MgO‐C recyclate. Using ETV, DTA/TG‐MS, XRD, and SEM/EDS/EBSD, mechanisms such as carbothermal reduction of magnesia, impurity incorporation into the secondary MgO surface layer, and calcium‐rich phase ...

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.
